"FOLLOW ME AND I WILL MAKE YOU BECOME FISHERS OF MEN” Mark 1 v17

Jesus didn't make them disciples then immediately sent them out to get on with it- saving souls or catching men...NO Jesus built them on God's word, He taught them daily (e.g Matthew 18). They were with Him most of the time if not 24/7, so they were able to see Him at work, able to gather experience. THEN Jesus sent them out in Matthew 10 v 5-8.

YOU CAN'T JUST EXPECT YOURSELF TO DO THE THINGS OF GOD IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEM, IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THEM.. NO! SPEND TIME WITH YOUR MASTER, YOUR CREATOR; HE WILL FAMILIARIZE YOU ON YOUR WORK ON THIS EARTH. There is no need to be confused or to hate yourself when you do the wrong things or when you are too scared to do some things in God, GET TO KNOW YOUR GOD. Notice He said in the verse above "I will MAKE you" it is HIS job, (NOT YOURS) to LEAD you, just as it was JESUS'S job to lead the disciples of those days. Do you think those disciples would have been able to be and act like they did without Jesus's guidance? Do you think that they could have done and continued those great works started by Jesus IF Jesus hadn't guided them on earth before He left NO! NO! The Holy Spirit has taken Jesus's place now, therefore meditate on the word and He WILL be speaking to you, leading you... oh its a BEAUTIFUL thing I (personally) assure you...remember YOU CAN'T EXPECT TO DO EFFECTIVELY WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW EFFECTIVELY...when you KNOW, when YOU are familiar...MY GOODNESS(!), YOU would GO OUT TO DO God's work with CONFIDENCE, (no fear etc). Remember "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks" (will post location in Bible later).

God bless TO YOU ALL- my BeaUtifUL brothers and sisters in Christ ALL OVER the WORLD, I love YOU ALL with the LOVE OF CHRIST "Grace to YOU and peace from GOD the Father and our LORD JESUS CHRIST" (Galatians 1 v 3)

God bless YOU

Until next time...

YOUR TREASURES-look around and see!

Brothers and sisters today I greatly urge you to believe and walk with every word that comes from your ministers mouth or those holding similar positions in your church in fact anyone standing before you in the church pulpit that is representing God in anyway-either just a member of the church that’s preaching on weekdays or anyone that is speaking about God…..take hold of their word, take it, its treasure a lot take it for granted, catch every of their declarations directed to the church (you KNOW they are for you). Even something as seemingly little (to some) as ‘God bless you’, or the declaration of your church for the year e.g. this is the year of great manifestations; I am telling you now, TAKE IT, its coming from someone God has ordained ..YOU have to believe in the anointing before it can work for you.

Take for instance what happened when Jesus came to the land of Genesaret; the people SAW Him as He was- treasure (Matthew 14 v 34- 36) and so they treated Him as one; they quickly grasped what was in their reach because they knew His importance and the Bible clearly states that “…as many as touched it (the hem of His garment) were made perfectly well”. The opposite happened when Jesus came to His own town where He was born (Mark 6 v1-6); they failed to see Him as He was, they were blinded by their own beliefs; they failed to see Him as their deliverer, savior, the ultimate treasure; the Bible clearly states the result “Now He could do no mighty work there…” they missed their testimonies because they refused to see what was right there before them. They’d heard the same thing as those in Genesaret had heard, even saw but they just didn’t think He was good enough, they knew better. The truth was they’d failed to see and it COST them even though they were so hard hearted to see it.

Make a decision today to see- or at least if it’s too hard to do (like those in Jesus’ hometown) give it to God constantly in prayer and MEDITATE on the word (those hearts were hardened because God wasn’t in them so evil dominated in them) because though it’s costing you a lot like those in Jesus’ town, you will not know it. Now look around you… there’s always a treasure, it might be hard to see at first after long periods of not acknowledging it but it’s there. It could be your church-perhaps you don’t attend as often as you should, or you get there late, It could be as I said earlier the words that come out of those representing God on the pulpit, your Bible, Christian friends, God related books that are at your disposal to read but you don’t read them; remember there are some who don’t have access just a mere mention of the name of Jesus will get them into Jail.

What are all those treasures you have been taking for granted? What you don’t value you’ll misuse, abuse and in some cases lose. LOOK AROUND WITH ME NOW AND BEGIN TO SEE THESE TREASURES, record it all down if that’s a way for you to remember and to keep tab of it is David believed so much in the anointing and it worked for him, you have to believe in this treasure for it to work for you. God bless you all in the name of Jesus!!!
